Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series

	'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
	'Some cleanups of maple tree'

   - In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
     Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
     and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
     have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
     in the patch series

	'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
	'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
	'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
	'Convert aops-&gt;error_remove_page to -&gt;error_remove_folio'
	'Finish two folio conversions'
	'More swap folio conversions'

   - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series

	'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'

   - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
     'tweak kmemleak report format'.

   - In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
     Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
     of no longer needed stack traces.

   - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
     allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
     page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.

   - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
     for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
     'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.

   - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
     'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.

   - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
     'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.

   - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the
     series

	'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS'
	'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests'
	'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8'

   - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm:
     memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'.

   - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts
     has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
     improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
     anonymous page faults.

   - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
     work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
     cleanups'.

   - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
     'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
     compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
     UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.

   - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
     Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning
     aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.

   - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use
     in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'.

   - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback
     code, both code and within filesystems. The series is 'Clean up the
     writeback paths'.

   - Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and free
     stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series 'kasan:
     save mempool stack traces'.

   - Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series
     'kasan: assorted clean-ups'.

   - David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more
     pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap:
     interface overhaul'.

   - Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU code
     in the series 'mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup'.

   - Matthew Wilcox has contributed lruvec page accounting code cleanups
     in the series 'Remove some lruvec page accounting functions'"

All callers are passing end_buffer_async_write as this argument, so we can
hardcode references to it within __block_write_full_folio().  That lets us

Convert the function to be compatible with writepage_t so that it can be
passed to write_cache_pages() by blkdev.  This removes a call to
compound_head().  We can also remove the function export as both callers
are built-in.

Functions gfs2_freeze_super() and gfs2_thaw_super() are using the
SDF_FROZEN flag to indicate when the filesystem is frozen, synchronized
by sd_freeze_mutex.  However, this doesn't prevent writes from happening
between the point of calling thaw_super() and the point where the
SDF_FROZEN flag is cleared, so the following assert can trigger in
log_write_header():

    gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, !test_bit(SDF_FROZEN, &amp;sdp-&gt;sd_flags));

Fix that by checking for sb-&gt;s_writers.frozen != SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE in
log_write_header() instead.  To make sure that the filesystem-specific
part of freezing happens before sb-&gt;s_writers.frozen is set to
SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE, move that code from gfs2_freeze_locally() into
gfs2_freeze_fs() and hook that up to the .freeze_fs operation.

Functions gfs2_freeze_super() and gfs2_thaw_super() are using the
SDF_FROZEN flag to indicate when the filesystem is frozen, synchronized
by sd_freeze_mutex.  However, this doesn't prevent writes from happening
between the point of calling thaw_super() and the point where the
SDF_FROZEN flag is cleared, so the following assert can trigger in
log_write_header():

    gfs2_assert_withdraw(sdp, !test_bit(SDF_FROZEN, &amp;sdp-&gt;sd_flags));

Fix that by checking for sb-&gt;s_writers.frozen != SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE in
log_write_header() instead.  To make sure that the filesystem-specific
part of freezing happens before sb-&gt;s_writers.frozen is set to
SB_FREEZE_COMPLETE, move that code from gfs2_freeze_locally() into
gfs2_freeze_fs() and hook that up to the .freeze_fs operation.

It turns out that the .freeze_super and .thaw_super operations require
the filesystem to manage the superblock refcount itself.  We are using
the freeze_super() and thaw_super() helpers to mostly take care of that
for us, but this means that the superblock may no longer be around by
when thaw_super() returns, and gfs2_thaw_super() will then access freed
memory.  Take an extra superblock reference in gfs2_thaw_super() to fix
that.

<title>gfs2: Use wait_event_freezable_timeout() for freezable kthread</title>

A freezable kernel thread can enter frozen state during freezing by
either calling try_to_freeze() or using wait_event_freezable() and its
variants. So for the following snippet of code in a kernel thread loop:
  try_to_freeze();
  wait_event_interruptible_timeout();

We can change it to a simple wait_event_freezable_timeout() and then
eliminate a function call.
